Koford,58 23 Colobus abyssinicus 4 October 1965 Toro Game Preserv. Toru Uganda grs. 300 yds. S.; other grs. of 2 and 3 at. Moved further S. to watch. Saw in dead tree grs. of 8 (1a jnr.-1) + inf. (prob. complete grs.), sitting, lying, grooming; at least 1 ad. M, prob. 2. | Heard the rattling call & than another one from 1/4 mile distant: then both - could be territ- orial warning, the males show no excitement at it. | Bunch of Papio to 150 yds. from, in tree, 4 occes. barks. | The 8 bunches in 20' diam. in same tree. a rattle (C. mit.) within 50 yds. | 10:25, another grs., 1/2 mi. S. lodge, 7 or t, feeding in the foliage in center river forest band. Muggy, warm; alto cumulus clouds, but no rain morning. | 1500, returned to area S. of lodge & searched river] 5 October 1965. 7 a.m., 8+ in tree A', 200 yds. SSE of camp, incl. 2 jnr. + 1 inf. (saw them last eve too). And in top of big round topped tree at B (500yds. S. camp), 5, only the tails showing, all in an even line as if on one limb (1 jnr.). Last eve also 2 at in treetop C. at side tree for monkeys. Saw grs. of. 4 (jnr: 1), 5, 9 (2 jnrs), 8 (3 jnr. mips.), 9 - the 9+8 about 200' apart, possibly same grs., about 1/2 mile S. of lodge. The 9+5 about 300 yds. apart. Good visibility after showers. Black & white hornbills often on treetops & at first taken for monkeys. Fish eagle flew slowly over stream. 5 October 1965. | Overcast & threatening, but only a few drops. 0900, area S. of lodge surveying treetops N to S. About .2 mi. S. lodge, to W., 5 (2-3 jnrs. played wrestled, dangled from limb wrestling, until dropped into foliage), 5 + jnr 1, 3,6,3,β, 7 - all there in about .4 mi. distance along river. Moved to .5 S. of lodge, where grs. 9+ 8 last eve; none in same tree, but 100 yds. N. in dead tree counted 11, apparently no inf.s & perhaps no small jnrs. a grs. of 4 at 500' ``` ```json {"text": "Koford,58\n23\nColobus abyssinicus\n4 October 1965 Toro Game Preserv.
